  4. Why regulate? Does not reflect the work/thoughts of the FDASIA regulations subgroup

  5. What already exists Does not reflect the work/thoughts of the FDASIA regulations subgroup • Survey of approaches that coexist now with FDA, ONC and FCC regulation • Looking for areas of redundancy and ambiguitywith what we recommend • Identifying best practices and successful regulatory and non-regulatory tools
